They should move them to ukraine
Sounds like a good old fashioned shakedown of the tax payers as is tradition.
I'm Ted Leonsis and I thank you for your tax money EASY
Washington sports teams are cooked
He's not moving those teams to NoVa. President Biden wouldn't allow it, even if the two sides weren't able to reach an agreement on the renovational financing.
My dude just really made a threat and 2hr later got $500mil
Nooooooo
Lmao man your team dead last but you threatening to move them?
Thats just disgusting. Theyre making millions every year and they dare ask for tax money.
Damnit
No public money should go to sports teams. These billionaire owners are pathetic. Spend your own money!
Just sell, Leonsis is almost as bad as snyder was,
its only 8 miles from the current stadium…
will they still be called the Washington wizards and capitals?
They can do all that reno, but the Wizards aint winning a NBA championship anytime soon. That blow up of Porzingis and Beal last year did nothing, they are in the same position as last year, maybe worse. They need to use the draft picks and do a complete rebuild. Poole is not consistent, Kuzma is the only thing worth watching.
Nooo keep them in Washington 😭 VA don’t wanna claim Poole
Imagine asking for 600 mil just to showcase Jordan Poole’s boneheaded plays
Let them go to Alexandria, good luck.
Imagine if regular ppl could get help this fast ,
Someone needs to buy those teams and keep it there.
Threatening to move the Wizards might not be a good idea. The city might pay them to leave as trash as they are.
Good.
